THE GOAL MINES
OF CARDIFF
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
GIVES SOME INFORMATION
REGARDING THE CARDIFF
COAL MINES NEAR KELSO,
KNOWN AS THE CONSUMERS'
MINE.
The coal business of the City of
Astoria wilL probably be entirely
revolutionized within thev course of
a very short time.
One of-the prime movers in this
enterprise is Mr. C. H. Callender of
this city, well known in the steamship
and transportation business through
out the Northwest
The coal mine which will be open
ed and operated is located at Kelso,
Washington, on the Cowlitz river,
generally known as the Consumers'
Coal Company. Mr. Callender will
have charge of the transportation of
this proposition which promises to
immediately assume extraordinarily
dimension.
He will have a "supply of this coal
on hand for sale within a very short
time and a sample has been placed on
exhibition in the Chamber of Com
merce. There are 600,000 tons of this coal
already blocked out in the Consum
ers' Mines and five miles of tunnels
have been timbered and laid out
Three tunnels have been put in cross
cutting with connecting hills dug be
tween. In this manner $150,000 have
already been spent on the Consumers'
Mine.
Machine shops have been erected
for the purpose of making the mine's
own equipment including the " coal
cars. The company already owns 800
cars.
An excursion will be run from As
toria to the mines on Sunday, March
22nd, when interested parties will be
given an opportunity to see for them
selves. The party will leave Astoria
on the morning train and go to Rain
ier where they will then take the
boat This mine will put oji the
market 100 tons of coal daily without'
interruption. Some of the largest coal
contracts in the Northwest will be
filled by this company and the entire
merchants fleet of vessels that do
business in the Columbia River will
be coaled from this mine.
While it is not yet definitely known
what the selling price of the Con
sumers' Mine coal will be, it is ex
pected that the price will not be more
than $5.00 per ton.
This coaling arrangement which
Mr. Callender is perfecting for As
toria means a great deal for the com'
mercial development of the City as
during the past winter on account of
the high prices of coal transportation,
it was practically impossible to Jbuy
coal for less than $10 or $11 per ton.
Thus the price of coal will literally
be cut in two.
This proposition is in no sense of
the word a speculative proposition
but a plain .matter of fact business
proposition, the only condition re
maining to be carried out is the
marketing of the coal which has al
ready been opened up.
. One of the needs of this port has
long been ample coaling facilities and
supplies at inviting prices for the ac
commodation of all vessels that en
ter the Columbia River.
It now appears that this crying need
is to be amply and sufficiently satis
fied. An invitation has been extended to
all of the officers of the Chamber of
Comjmerce to make the trip to tbe
mines on the excursion as the guests
of the coal company.
Satan Terrified.
There Is as great genius displayed In
advertising as in the higher branches
of literature. No problem dannta the
modern advertising man.
In tbe window of a little book store
in Eighth avenue, New York, was re
cently heaped a great, pile of Bibles
marked very low'. Never before were
Bibles offered at such a bargain, and
above them all In big letters was the
inscription:
Satan trembles when he sees
Bibles sold as low as these.
Well Grounded.
"Is my son getting well grounded in
the classics" asked tbe anxious mil
lionaire. "I would put it even stronger than
that," replied the private tutor. "I may
say that he is actually stranded on
them." Chicago Record-Herald.
Certainly Would.
City Man (to villager) Wouldn't it
open your eyes if you were to look
across at that lot there and see one of
ur city skyscrapers covering it? Vil

WATERFRONT ITEMS
Doings Along the Waterfront Here
Yesterday.
WOMAN MORE THAN A HELP.
Why is it that so few men make
mental comrades of their wives? Is
it because of man's consummate self
ishness and egotism, his conviction
that he is a lord of creation, that, in
spite of all his vaporings and flattery
to the contrary, he is a little better
than his wifeis mentally, as well a
physically, her superior.
The selfish husband thinks that he
should have a clear track for his am
bition, and that his wife should be
content, even grateful, to be allowed
to tag on behind and assist him in
every possible way in what, he con
siders the grand life-work of both of
them to make him the biggest man
possible.
It is very difficult for the average
man to think of a woman s career,
except in terms of his own interest.
In other words, he has the idea that
woman was made to be man's help
meet, that she was made to help him
do what he wants to do. He cannot
conceive of his being made as a help
meet for her, to help her carry out
her ambition, unless it is that of a
housekeeper. It does not even occur
to him that she could have an ambi
tion welling up within her heart, a
longing to answer the call which runs
in her own blood, and a yearning to
express it in some vocation as well
as he.
I do not believe that the Creator
has limited one-half of the human
race practically to one occupation,
while the other half has the choice of
a thounsand.
"But," many of our men readers
will -say, "is there any grander pro
fession in the world than that of
home-making and the rearing of
children? How can such a vocation
be narrowing, monotonous?"
My only answer would be: Let
these men try this kind of life them
selves."
Of course it is grand. There is
nothing grander in the universe than
the work of a true wife, noble
mother. But it would require the
constitution of a Hercules, an infinit
ely greater patience than that of a
Job, to endure such work with almost
no chance or outside variety, year in
and year out, as multitudes of wives
and mothers do.
The average man does not apprec
iate how almost devoid of incentives
to broadmindedness, to many-sidedness,
to liberal growth, the home life
of many women is Success Maga

THOUSANDS CURED.
Wonderful Success of Hyomel
Curing Catarrh, Even in
Chronic Stages.
in
Hyomel is the most unusual remedy
ever known for the curse of catarrh.
It follows nature in her methods of
treating diseases of the respiratory
organs, as its healing balsams are
taken in with the air you breathe,
thus reaching the most remote air
cells In the nose, throat and lungs,
killing all catarrhal germs.
Relief comes with almost the first
breathe of Hyomel, while lasting and
complete cure follows its faithful use.
There is hardly a town or village In
the whole country where there are
not many who have been cured of
catarrh by this natural treatment In
Astoria T. F. Laurin can tell you of
customers who have been cured oi
catarrh by Hyomei, many of them
after they had given up all hope of
even relief.
Be wise in time and use Hyomei
at the first symptoms of catarrh. Do
not allow the disease to extend along
the delicate mucous membrane, grad
ually going from tbe nose to the
bronchial tubes, and then onward and
downward until the lungs art reach
ed. Hyomei will cure all curable
forms and stages of catarrh. T. F.
Laurin takes all tbe risk of trial and
offers to refund the money for a $1.00
outfit if it fails to cure.

Evansville, Ind., writes:, "For over
five years I was troubled with kidney
and bladder affections which caused
me much pain and worry. I lost flesh
and was all run down, and a year ago
had to abandon work entirely. I had
three of the best physicians who did
me no good and I was practically
given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure
was recommended and the first bottle
gave me great relief, and after taking
the second bottle I was entirely
cured." Why not let it help you?
